GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
Matters of Money and Management
About Various Lines.

The Berkeley Is. c. Gazette says: One
of the most extensive pieces of work under
taken in Berkeley county for long time is
now being accomplished by the Northeast
ern Railroad Company at Santee trestle.
On the Charleston side of the river is a
swamp three miles across, through which
the railroad runs on trcstle from 20 to 80
feet high. This Whole length is to be filed
in with a solid clay embankment, from the
highland to the bridge. Culverts will be
placed at intervals, where the greatest
strains of water come, to prevent damage
from freshets. About seventy car-lengths
of this enormous dam has been put in
already. A locomotive, big steam dredge
and about sixty hands are engaged in the
work. The crossing will be safer and kept
at less expense when finished. An immense
culvert is to be put in the old mill pond,
about mile north of st. Stephens, and an
embankment built across that place.

You can generally size man up by the
fit of his clothes, and if there is anything
that will make one tired, oh! so tired, it is
the sight of a man whose garments hang on
him like "a shirt ona handspike" Nothing
is easier than to get decently fitted-if you
will only go to the right place. We make q
speciality of correct fits; in fact, our reputa-
ton depends on it, and we would rather
lose sale than send out into the world a
suit that would bring us into ridicule. We
stock, and will positively sacrifice every ar
ticle of summer wear henceforth.
The high-class clothing Underwear,
Necllwear, Hosiery and Gents Furnishings
handled by us must go at buyers figures.
We have made up our minds to lose--as we
always do at the end of the season--and will
pocket our losses gracefully.

NEW ORLEANS LEADS.
The Memphis zebras Beaten by a
Score OF 10 to 4.


NEW ORLEANS, Aug. S.-By general re-
quest Ewing pitched his second successive
game against Memphis to-day so that the
locals could leave home with the lead.
Ewing filled his contract and helped to de-
feat Memphis a third time. Up to the
eighth inning he had the Browns shut out
again, but Bobby Black broke the charm
by knocking the ball over the right field
fence for home run. Long John eased up
then, and singles by the Mckeough brothers
and Smith let in two runs. klusmans
errors and Hanters single yielded another
run in the ninth inning. Up to the seventh
inning it was pitchers battle, with the re-
suit slightly in Ewings favor, and mag
nifcent game. The score stood to D, New
Orleans getting run in the second inning
on singles by Geiss and McVey and two
passed balls. In the seventh inning the To-
Gals commenced hitting Black, and he grew
sulky. New Orleans having no trouble
from then on, four singles, base on balls
and wild pitch yielded five runs. In the
ninth inning Campau's two-bagger, three
singles and errors by Force and Phelan
yielded four more runs. The
features of the game were
Powell's right fielding and Fuller's work at
short, accepting nine chances without an
error, some of them after Klusman and
Ewing had fumbled them. Crotty twisted
his ankle in the second in sliding back to
first and was forced to retire. This leaves
Memphis without catcher and Hantel was
borrowed from New Orleans and did very
well. Following is the score by innings and
summary:
New Orleans .... o 0 0 0 40
Memphis .......... o 0 0 0 0 L
Batteries-Ewing and Vaughn, Black and
Crotty and Hantel.

The Central Looking After This De-
partment of it's Rolling Stock
Col. Mann, of the Mann Boudoir Car
Company, and representative of the Pull
mans, are in the city comforting with Gen
eral Manager Belknap, of the Central, about
new sleepers to be put on the road. Mr..
Bellnap said yesterday that the sleeping car
department of the Central would
be the next thing put in
order. At present the road is running what
sleepers il has and those of other roads that
go as through cars, but its own seepers are
rather dilapidated and in need of repair.
They will be rebuilt and repaired, or the
road will build more or buy more, which
ever Of these is the most economical Bids
have been received from several car build
ing companies and the gentlemen now in
the city will also bid on the work.

The Central Railroad Rank

BY notice in another column it will be
seen TINT its Board of Directors inform the
public that the Central Railroad Bank is
prepared TO do a general banking business
and solicits accounts. The Central Railroad
Bank for many years did one of the largest
banking businesses in the city, but latterly,
owing probably TO its having the financial
affairs of the railroad TO manage, il has not
done as much with the public as other SINH
lar institutions. The announcement of the
directors referred to above will be received
with pleasure by the business community.

AN EDITOR OF LONG AGO
Who Is Now In Business That Pays
Batter Than NaWSnanar Work

Who Is Now In Business That Pays
Better Than Newspaper Work.
Col. w. D. Mann, the inventor of the
celebrated "Mann Boudoir Car" is present
in the city on business connected with his
enterprise. Col. Mann is not unknown in
Savannah. In fact, he is one of those I'M
pressve gentlemen whom to know once is to
known for the remainder of ones life. He
was here in 1870 in attendance on the meet
ing of the Southern Press Association, of
which body he was Vice President He
was at the time editor and proprietor of the
Mobile Register. He was quite prominent
not only because he was at the head of an
influential paper, but also because he was
among the few Union officers (having gone
to Alabama as Colonel of Federal cav
airy regiment) who discovered the great
possibilities of the South and set to work in
good earnest and with great energy to join
with its people in developing its
resources. He was few years
ahead of the times, however, but
he returns now to see his expectations
of twenty years ago realized. He was
nominated by the Democrats of the Mobile
(Ala,) district for Congress, but under the
reconstruction programme he was counted
out. Turning his attention to other fields
of usefulness he invented the Boudoir car,
which bears his name, and which has
brought him fame and fortune. His inven-
ton was just what travellers of Europe were
in want of, something little more
exclusive than the Pullman" and
the result was that the "Mann"
car today is the favorite in England and
ON the Continent, and its inventor the best
known American on that side of the At
lantic. The MORNING NEWS is glad to see
that its old editorial confrere has been so
successful in life and so successful in living
as to keep young enough to enjoy success.
